People say I look like: I get Will Smith from most of my ex-girlfriends, but flattery was their weapon of choice, so I’ll let you be the judge.
Tell us a secret: For starters, Obama is a communist. Wait, everyone knows that already. Santa Claus is real. I swear to God I saw him when I was 8. I’m a closet “Sex and the City” fan and a sucker for nerds.
What are you reading right now? It’s actually a half-comedy, half-fiction, half-autobiography. You might have heard of it: “Going Rogue: An American Life” by Sarah Palin.

What a doll. He does look like Will Smith--and smart & funny. Kind of guy I would like my daughter to bring home. Taking over the world in old man clothes. Smile.

Lookin' Good Dah-veed. Must have been the top notch arts and humanities education you received in high school that turned you to such stylish pursuits. ;)

Great line and an accurate review, to boot.

A 22 year-old man wearing over $600 worth of clothes?
I'm just not sure what to make of that.

Pete~ I take it you don't have teens or older kids! Didn't you buy frivolous stuff when you were young? Let them spend their money on clothes, cars, & whatnot...
In a few years, when they're saddled with marriage, house, kids, etc., they'll look back with affection at the carefree days when they could indulge themselves.
